MSD reviews

MSD Brinny has a culture of rewarding bullies with promotions. I've comforted colleagues after they have had their characters assassinated by new management. New management and supervisors lack basic people skills. Have zero respect for staff, expect OT to be done weekly and if you have children that's your problem not MSD's. It was a great place to work for years but new management are toxic, unprofessional and don't appreciate staff at all. They speak to you as if you were a child in primary school. I have witnessed one new supervisor on multiple occasions talk down to a fellow new supervisor who was trying to find their feet and doing the best that they could This was done multiple times in front of the whole department, making us extremely uncomfortable, this same supervisor then told us analysts that we appear to not like each other and the way we speak to each other was unacceptable, when in actual fact we were like family and worked very well together. Up until 2021 I would've recommended MSD to anyone considering a role there. I loved it so much. Now I would recommend anyone and everyone to avoid it. MSD "promotes" positive mental wellbeing but is perfectly OK with having bullies as managers and supervisors. If you want to work in an environment where your mental health is priority, you are appreciated, respected and not overworked, then go elsewhere because MSD is not the place for you.

A critic wrote in 2016:”Poor development & training opportunities, management by fear, under staffing, very US centric company, very political. These are always the same "clique" (considered as sufficiently "loyal" to the "cause") who get promoted. You'd better belong to them if you want to develop. Otherwise, search elsewhere...” : this is 100% right. About the development, I do not see what good it makes to pretend to get any development there. Their “cause and development” is just to pretend, to share a big cake, to travel a lot and to spend time chatting and gossiping. Top managers hire and promote their incompetent friends. This place is full with arrogant, hostile and incompetent high managers of poor caliber and poor human values, no lead by example, unfit people ignoring the Pharma industry basics . Lots of potty mouths and proud blabla like in one of the comments down below: “empowerment, best Fortune 500, self driven, leadership...” that hides incompetency of amateurs , too lucky to have been hired there.
